My son did come back as I was wrapping up and did some exterior detail painting on his which he enjoyed. There’s actually quite a bit of detail that pops out nicely with a little paint. My son had it together in about an hour or so…I, being the perfectionist that I am, of course spent way too much time painting the interior and the details so took about 6 hours total. With a nice selection of decently detailed parts, it seemed it wouldn’t take too long to get the model together. It sure would have been much more pleasant though if we actually had air-conditioning in our house! We both eagerly started and tore into the box with my daughter offering up moral support (she’ll have a kit to build with us next time). It was hot outside, so was perfect to just take it easy in-doors.

So, we set out on our DeLorean build adventure on a Friday mid-morning after flying. At one point, we were laughing uncontrollably for no reason whatsoever.

Be sure to watch because there’s some pretty funny stuff in there, especially at the very end. My kids are always wanting to bomb my videos anyhow, so figured it was time to officially feature them. It was a snap together kit, so figured in a few hours I could probably have a nice enough looking model…if I built it… Well, my son kept asking me to build the model while it sat on my bench and so I figured, why not grab a second one so we could build them together? I love building with him and he loves to build pretty much anything (he and my daughter are Lego masters!), so it was perfect! I figured, while we were at it, why not grab the video camera and try a “family build” segment on my YouTube channel. I guess that’s why I collect (though rarely build) so many plastic models, haha! The “Back to the Future” movies are among some of my favorites and a while back I came across the Polar Lights “Back to the Future” DeLorean and seriously, had to have it. Those are some of the fondest memories I have from growing up. I built many a model in the back of my dad’s shop as far as I can remember. I got my start in scale modeling by building plastic models as a kid. Facebook Twitter LinkedIn A Snap Together BTTF DeLorean? Great Scott!
